(Des Moines, IA) — A new law lets Iowa parents enroll their children in any public K-through-12 school at any time. Governor Kim Reynolds just approved this immediate change to Iowa’s “open enrollment” policy, which lets parents transfer their children out of the district in which the family lives. Parents typically had to make a transfer request by March First and transfers were only allowed into neighboring school districts. That adjacency rule is gone as well. School districts may still refuse transfer applications for lack of room.
